Where To Next ???

We've been home from vacation a whole six days and we've already started to plan our next vacation. We're crazy like that. This afternoon we went to AAA to discuss our plans for a China/Tibet/Nepal/India trip the summer of 2012.

It's going to be a few months before all the details are finalized but the skeleton of a plan looks awesome. We are going with General Tours who set up our Peru and Jordan vacations. If everything goes right, and I know it won't, we start with Beijing, a Yangtze cruise, Xian, and, become Panda Volunteers in Chengdu (The tour description is here - it will be modified). We then go to Lhasa to explore the Tibetan culture. We leave Lhasa and head overland across the Himalayas to view mount Everest including a horse drawn cart trip to the Everest base camp. From there it's Kathmandu (Tour description here). After that we fly to Delhi for a private tour of India including the Taj Mahal and Jaipur (Tour description here). All together, about a month of traveling Asia.

If everything works out right this will take place in June/July of next year. The order of things could change since we are trying to link three separate tours into a coherent vacation.
